Marie Antionette by Sofia Coppola is definitely one of my favorite movies. The makeup and costumes are absolutely gorgeous and the soundtrack is fantastic! Oh how I would have loved to have played the part! I think having been to the Palace at Versailles makes it even more special. It is such an awe-inspiring and magnificent place I am almost at a loss for words. Marie Antionette led a very lavish life full of parties but it was also full of sadness and tragedy. Coppola created a wonderful and beautiful picture and she made this "Let them eat cake!" French Queen into a human being that we can in some way relate to....
This is one of my favorite scenes... wearing black (the only time I think) and playing with fire! Reminds me of me...
Her birthday scene is another favorite. Oh how I'd love to have a party like that!
i have never seen it! But the costumes look incredible! xx
